I am the same as you, and DH is a pack rat, just like his mother. I just found out that his mother JUST threw away DH's baby cradle that was in their attic for 30 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I save it, but it's in my basement. Stuff from when I was a kid, etc.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I save some and toss some.

For example, I have every card my DH has ever given me, but toss all the others.

I did save all my wedding cards, too.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

For about a month (cards), then they get trashed. I do still have some cards that DH gave me over the years that he wrote something nice in, but that is about it.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I am a saver-
I have a trunk for all of our stuff (DH and I)
I keep all cards from DH (all in the same place)

It all goes in the attic though


BUT, in a way I am glad I am like this cause when I moved into my new house I found a letter my grandmother had written me-It was probably for my confirmation or something-I found it in a place I would never think to look-I dont remember ever reading it-but I now cherish it

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

Total sentimental freak, but with important things.

As time goes on I get "clean sweep crazy" and chuck some items that might not mean the same to me as they did back then.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I'm not a big saver-I prefer things to be thrown away, but I still have the cork from the champagne bottle from the night we got engaged and the day we closed on the house.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I have all the cards and things that my DH gave me while we were dating...I plan on keeping all my childrens stuff.
My parents kept all my art projects and things like that and its nice to see them after a while and remember being young.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I throw everything out. The only things I have saved are enagement, shower & wedding cards. And I save the cards from my hubba.

I have one small rubbermaid box of momentos from kindergarden through now plus very very small wedding momento box
(menu/incites/response cards/thank you cards/invoices/favors/plane tickets from honeymoon/etc...)

Yes I am BUT I am also very organized with it. I have several boxes in my moms basement with stuff and a few in my apt.

It just makes me feel guilty to throw things away - I worry that I would like to have it if the person that gave it to me passed away.

With some things. Like some precious cards and notes, but I don't like to keep stuff that has no purpose.

My dh keeps everything...he won't throw out a shirt that is old because his mom bought it for him. Chat Icon

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I used to. Then when I went to college, my dad put most of my momentos in a box and labled it "Marlo's Crap". Now, I toss most stuff.

Re: spinoff spinoff- Are you sentimental?

I used to save more things when I lived w/my parents-now that i have my own place I am finding it easier to part with stuff just to make room!!!
